Summer found herself at the bar of the open house party. She wasn’t someone who regularly attended formal events and as a result felt uneasy. The atmosphere wasn’t one she was accustomed to, she was surrounded by people she didn’t know, and her heels (although cute) were very uncomfortable. Unprompted, one of the bartenders pushed a full glass of chardonnay into her hands without warning and ran off to complete someone else’s order. She grabbed it and spun around, intending to walk away from the chaos, and came face to face with August. “Oh! You’re here.” She smiled for the first time that evening. Even with the shoes he still loomed over her. She took a step back, not wanting to invade his personal space, and felt the edge of the bar behind her. “Perfect timing. I was just thinking about how I could use some chocolate.”

She felt a little out of place at a formal parties such as this one. In college, she had gone to a few sorority formals before dropping out. They were enjoyable enough but didn’t leave a big enough impression for her to seek out high-end nightlife afterward. The open house party was proving to be much different than those. Summer might have felt overwhelmed if not for her determination to meet her favorite Disney star. “Excuse me,” It came out as a squeak. Summer flushed and cleared her throat to try again. “Sorry, um, I loved your performance! I just wanted to tell you that.”
